121 – Shaking World – 3
Starting from S rank, which is the highest power, to D rank, which barely reaches the level of a person with special abilities.
Everyone fought the monster with all their might and succeeded in closing the gate.
However, no one other than God can safely rescue everyone.
If there are survivors, there are also victims. That is the inevitable result of tragedy.
And on Friday evening, people were coming to the hastily prepared incense burner.
– Joint Incense Center for the Victims of the Gate Incident –
Someone unfortunately got caught in a direct hit to the gate.
Someone else had some distance, but eventually caught up with the monster.
Another, while evacuating people even though they could have escaped.
For their own reasons, countless people died.
The gender and age are all different, but the death of each one of them was a tragedy.
Trembling at the misery, people came and left a flower.
And among those people, Baek Seo-jin was also included.
“… .”
I came out wearing glasses and even a mask to avoid getting caught up in something stupid.
He continues to be wary of the surroundings in case Hyun Su-jin will appear again.
If that’s not the case, I’m worried that Irina will show up right away.
It might be better not to come out at a bar like this.
Nevertheless, the reason why Baek Seo-jin came all the way here.
Because right here, there is a person who never should have been.
“Ryu Jin-hyeok… Jinhyeok Ryu. If the person you’re looking for is probably this one. A person with magical powers, age 20. I recently returned home after studying abroad. Please join the academy during the second semester.”
“Five. That’s accurate. Thank you, Chairman. Thanks to… .”
“Listen to me. This young man you’ve been looking for. He died during the gate incident yesterday.”
“… Yes?”
“I was killed by the boss monster while helping civilians during the Gate incident. All of our people confirmed that it was on the fallen database. I already checked with my association.”
The moment he heard Kang Min-seong’s words, Baek Seo-jin almost shouted like this without even realizing it.
It’s ridiculous. So no. Why did he die?!
From noblemtl.com
Jinhyeok Ryu. Originally, he joined in the second semester and was in charge of another fire support for Lee Hyun-woo’s party.
If Kang Ha-na showed particular strength in various support and environmental changes with ice barrier magic.
Ryu Jin-hyeok is a fire-type magic that has a long cooldown, but guarantees one damage.
He was a talented person who had to act as a ‘traditional blow dealer’ that was essential to the team.
A character whose appearance was set at a different time from the others in the academy from the beginning.
So I didn’t find it right away and deliberately tried to wait until the second semester.
I never could have imagined that I would lose in vain by not being able to do anything like this!
“… .”
Baek Seo-jin silently looked at the photo posted at the joint incense burner.
This is Ryu Jin-hyeok. Obvious. I was sure it looked like it.
The talented person I tried to join the team in the future, has a good personality and above average skills.
Of course, it’s not a complete character, so of course I have to grow more.
Still, there was a base that was laid, so I put it aside for a while.
‘Damn it. I was too careless. I feel like things are working out so well… .’
Should I have kept it right from the start? Were you forced into the academy?
However, it was almost impossible to do that since I had just returned from overseas.
No matter how great his network is, an academy is still an academy.
It is impossible to put a student in the middle of the semester without an exam.
So it was like we were going to wait until the second semester transfer exam, but things turned out this way.
Swoop-.
I leave the flowers I was holding silently at the memorial hall and pray for the souls of the departed.
It’s a person I’ve never met, let alone talk to, but I’m sorry I couldn’t.
Knowing that things were going to be completely different, I could have handled it in advance.
If I had paid a little more attention, I might have prevented such an absurd end.
It’s not his fault, but he can’t help but feel bitter.
“… It’s annoying.”
On the way out of the incense burner and back home. Baek Seo-jin looked around the surrounding landscape.
The world that was so noisy just a few days ago is now so quiet.
Obviously, it is still full of loud noises, but something is definitely different from before.
Fear and fear coming from a future that no one can be sure of now.
yes. They were weighing heavily on all parts of the world.
Whoops!— Whoops!—
Wasn’t it possible to see such a white paper?
In my arms, the phone vibrates very loudly.
Baek Seo-jin, who had been looking at the phone screen for a while, smiled.
Then he pressed the call button and parted his lips.
“Yes, Suhyun-ah. uh. I had something to look at for a while. … here? Why all of a sudden. uh. uh. … have something to say? Then you can’t just do it now… Should we meet and talk? uh… Okay. The judge will go.”
Why is he doing this all of a sudden? Did something happen?
After ending the call, Baek Seo-jin looked at his phone for a while and then shrugged.
It was always nice to see Kim Soo-hyun changing little by little.

“I have prepared everything as you requested, Suhyeon-ah. But are you okay? If you look at the personality of the examiner Baek Seo-jin, I am worried that he will agree to the word to rest when the current situation is like this.”
Grandpa’s concerns were valid. As the state of affairs is the state of affairs, the judge may reject it.
Thank you for your concern, but right now it’s more important to move forward than to take a break.
If you say that, I don’t have the confidence to convince the judge anymore… .
… Nope. Still have to convince That is necessary for both the judge and me.
There were definitely difficult and disastrous things, but you can’t carry them with you forever.
The judge also said so. If it’s too hard, take a break and go.
If you do that, you will be able to get the strength to move forward once again!
“… are you going to convince me? yes. i get it. My granddaughter will take care of it. This halbi always cheers me on. You can’t lose to Irina. My granddaughter is fighting!”
right. I have to do it for my grandfather’s faith and hard work.
You can do it, Kim Soo-hyun. If you are really for the judges.
Sometimes you have to be able to bend the judge’s opinion!
“Soohyun.”
I turned my head and saw the judge waving his hand and approaching me.
It’s a bit late, and it’s a pretty sudden request to meet there.
Even so, the judges came all this way without showing any dislike.
“I have something to say. why? Did something happen?”
The judges are always like that. Always, worried about what might have happened to me.
Actually, the judges fought more and were injured more than me.
It’s not me who should be worried, it’s the judges.
That’s why I want to carry out this resolution that I have now.
Because you fought a lot and were hurt a lot, so you must be very tired.
As the judge said, I want to give you a very short break.
“I… Judge. That… this weekend. So, from tomorrow to the day after tomorrow.”
“yes. Why?”
“Ugh… Judge. So… How about this weekend?”
ah! It’s not a difficult word, so why do you keep cutting it off?
Speak confidently, Kim Soo-hyun! It’s nothing to be ashamed of, and it’s nothing mean.
This is for the judges. So spit it out proudly!
“Joe, take a break! Uh, how are you?!”
no, i said it! You did it! thank god. yeah finally… .
“Of course you should rest. How hard have you been these days? I plan to take a good rest at home without moving a single step. Were you worried that I would work on the weekend?”
“to?”
uh huh This isn’t it. That’s what I wanted… .
“Are you just student Lee Hyeon-woo? No, Hyunwoo Lee didn’t say something strange, right? Saying that I have to be judged on the weekend, and since I train on the weekend, it is right to be judged on the weekend as well.”
“Yes? Uh, I’ve had that happen a couple of times… .”
“I knew I would. this madman is real Why the hell are you telling me to work on the weekend?”
The judge speaks very passionately about comrade Bronze, Hyunwoo Lee.
I don’t know why I haven’t given up since I started when I was a civil servant.
Weekends are for rest, so why make others tired?
It’s there that I don’t know, that’s right. was saying
But this isn’t it. That’s not what I was trying to say… .
“Poem, examiner! You’re taking a break! Weeks, weekends! There is a villa prepared by my grandfather! That’s where you can rest quietly this weekend! Uh, what about!!”
“uh? Villa?”
You’re doing great, Kim Soo-hyun! Keep pushing!
“Yes! That… really quiet! There is a place where no one is. If you look at the judges these days, there are too many things! little. No, you look very tired. So I asked my grandfather. Find a place where you can rest for two days without being disturbed by anyone!”
hahahaha… Sue, out of breath It’s been a long time since I said so many things so quickly.
Have you missed anything? Is there anything strangely conveyed? yes, no delivered everything
“It’s a villa. this weekend.”
“Yes Yes! It’s a break. Let’s get some rest!”
“Um… .”
“The house suddenly collapsed not too long ago, and you were very distracted. Then, all of a sudden, Irina was dragged away as if she had kidnapped her and made her very uncomfortable at her house! There, two days ago, he had another great battle. You must have accumulated fatigue in your body without even knowing it!”
Did you think my words were valid? The judge nods.
That’s a good sign. Yes, you have to push through like this.
Irina, I can’t just chase after her.
I will take the lead. Next to the judge, I will try to be!
“I think you are right, Suhyeon-ah. Certainly, you’ve been busy lately.”
“Yes?! Then, since I’ve already finished all the preparations, if you go straight away… .”
“Isn’t it a bit like going alone? We still fought together.”
“… to?”
Poetry, Judge? What are you talking about!?
“Kang Ha-na, Yu Da-som, and even Lee Hyun-woo. Let’s take those three together. From now on, we will move as a team, so it would be nice if we could take this opportunity to get closer.”
… Hee hee hee!?!
